art of your highest goals； and what your value。
聚焦快樂（2）
Value…based happiness es from looking at things with your heart； not just your eyes。
You create value…based happiness by focusing on the joy of life； instead of constantly looking for the next new thing that might make you feel better about yourself； about your life。
So how do you focus on the Joy？
Throw out your ideas about control； effectiveness； and goals。 （Yes； they are important； but let’s just try something different； ok？）
Focus on Learning。
Instead of making a goal to achieve more in your job； decide instead to read and learn how to do one new thing each week。
Focus on Time。
Schedule your time to include what’s important to you； like reading time； or exercise time； or family time； or learning time。
Focus on the Why。
Instead of just forcing yourself to mop the kitchen floor； tap into the higher goal that mopping the kitchen floor supports （having a clean and healthy home）。
How does that feel？ Not bad； Huh！ If you focus on the pleasure that a desire gives you； you’ll find it easier to put in the work that it takes。 （One author gives the example of giving blood—while the experience itself may be less than pleasant； the joy es in knowing “why” you’re doing it）。
And I absolutely guarantee that you will achieve more； mainrain your efforts； and have a much better journey along the way。
Over the next 12 months； instead of focusing on the effort； FOCUS ON THE JOY。 Focus on the people and things that are most important to you。 Focus on the pleasure you get out of moving towards your goals。 Focus on the process of creating something； not what results you expect。
Invest in yourself more than you ever thought was allo
